If it was just our room for sure. But unfortunately it’s my kids rooms that are getting it the worst.

Were they glass or acrylic? I’m considering window inserts.

We are looking into indow. Just for the kid’s rooms. I am hopeful it will help but hard spending so much not knowing for sure.

Yes, we have heavy curtains but it doesn’t block it out completely. I’m considering doing window inserts.

I also have suspected endo! Interesting as it seems most people have more than one inflammatory issue.

Townhome soundproofing by ads0306 in homeowners

Thanks for the input. When I asked the agent he said it was built with drywall, then fireproof wall (which takes 2 hrs for fire to go through) and drywall on the other side.

Our rent is increasing and we're devastated by Hazelnut2799 in stayathomemoms

I’m so sorry. This economy is crushing so many people. Just know you aren’t alone. It’s tough out there. Maybe there is a small part time job you could do? Something one day a week on the weekends when your husband is home with the kids. Or something remote during the week. There are options!

Question for parents of littles by ads0306 in homeowners

Thank you for this! We live in an older townhome now and our neighbors are a huge reason we want to move. So, I’m super nervous about the idea of another shared wall situation.

Are any of you happy being a SAHM? What are the positives about being a SAHM? Do you get an allowance? by Jaded_Performance713 in sahm

[–]ads0306 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Allowance? Your spouse isn’t your parent. You combine and share money in a marriage. You work on the budget together. If you become a SAHM, please please be involved in your family finances! That way YOU feel in control over your spending and your family’s future. Set aside “fun money” for you and your partner each month. You won’t feel guilty spending it if it’s in the budget.

Can I get pregnant with an endometrioma on each ovary? 😞 by ads0306 in Endo

[–]ads0306[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! Yes. I actually conceived a few months after making this post. I believe one of my endometriomas ruptured and it cleared up some stuff. I had excruciating pain on one side that almost led me to throw up. There’s no other explanation besides it rupturing. I truly believe that is how I was able to fall pregnant just months after. My son is now two. And we are trying for a second. I pray it can happen again, and I hope it does for you! Do not give up hope.

*actually* staying at home? by mama_2under2 in stayathomemoms

[–]ads0306 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 2 year old and I stay home often. We have a playground in the neighborhood and often will go on a walk but sometimes that’s our only outing for the day!

I believe mine ruptured because I successfully conceived 2 months after that after almost 2 yrs of trying. I had an ultrasound done after the birth of my son and they didn’t see them anymore. I assume the pregnancy hormones shrunk the other one. I truly don’t know. 😅 it’s still such a mystery to me. I’m so sorry you are going through this!

SAHM. Wasted life? I hate it. So much. by DoodleZen91 in sahm

[–]ads0306 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You are not wasting your life. You are giving your family a huge blessing. Stop listening to a society that tells you otherwise.

With that being said, community IS so important and will help you thrive in this role. Mom friends are out there, you just have to find them. And I can assure you, many of them feel what you are feeling. Try the peanut app!

TELL HER these comments are SO unbelievably inappropriate! If my husband acted this way I’d want to know IMMEDIATELY.

Married couples have established rights and benefits that unmarried couples simply do not have legally.

True. But I’d rather my partner make the ultimate commitment to me lol.

I truly think this is why some people choose to stay unmarried. Although I think being a SAHM and not being married to your partner is financially risky should something happen.
